[First game with Fyreslayers]

I'm thinking about adding some Fyreslayers to a mixed Order list. Just need some Ward saves to counter the mortal wound spam elsewhere.

[More Chariots for the Legions]

Hit the like cap again.

[First game]

Probably nice to use the starter set rather than dropping the undercosted Bastiladon on him first game.

That said, I took a Ghoul King on Zombie Dragon for a starter game yesterday (admittedly the rest of the army was just Ghouls) against a non-teleporting Stormcast 1,000 list - still pretty strong.

 

 

[Colossal Cave Squig (WIP)]

That looks amazing. A true wrecking ball!

[Slashing My Own Hamstrings]

Get an Exalted Seeker Chariot unit - not helpful for Nurgle I know. It's nice to know that Slannesh have one good thing going for them.

[Slashing My Own Hamstrings]

You would think they would, but with no strong synergies they just wouldn't. Compare their output to that of 30 whipped Bloodletters (300 points) with +1 to hit from the Command Trait and (just) one Bloodsecrator giving them an extra attack.

[Slashing My Own Hamstrings]

Yeah - Slaves to Darkness units (and heroes) are really underwhelming. They are vaguely tough, but not as tough as Liberators plus Paladins for example.

[What's needed to make a competitive army?]

Yeah - there's a sizeable advantage in fielding battleline units that can shoot as these can sit on objectives in your territory and still contribute meaningfully to combat (bad news for Death and Destruction - I'm not counting Night Goblin bowmen - that's attempting to shoot and messing it up).

[The Tribe Assembles]

They really should just allow all Beastmen to take any god keyword. It's not like they're a strong army....

[The Tribe Assembles]

You're right that they aren't mortal.

However many key Khorne buffs do bite on anything which is "Khorne", e.g. Bloodstoker and Bloodsecrator. I was inches away from making a list like this. However, the GH has butchered this (a) it's not in the book because it's a campaign warscroll; and (b) the rule of one cuts in half the damage from the exploding attacks from the Bullgors (unlike in SCGT where these rules are well balanced).

[More Slaanesh]

Ultimate chaff destroyer!

[Extremis Chamber.]

Looking good. 

[Death Army List Strategy for NICON 2016]

Unless the deployment zones are more than 24 inches apart, the extra range on summoning is largely irrelevant. The 9 inch rule will be the main constraint.

[Death Army List Strategy for NICON 2016]

Looks like a very interesting list.

 

I'd go for the Lord of Bones Command Ability anyday. I don't see the extra range as a big deal unless you're pairing Arkhan with Mannfred to buff the range of his spell (and double casting it) or possibly Hand of Dust - double cast (but then you'd be foregoing Nagash's command ability).
